CHRISTIAN LIFE >> STEWARDSHIP

SDAH 638

The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their greatness,
And some their strength and health:

1
The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their greatness,
And some their strength and health:
We too would bring our treasures
To offer to the King,
We have no wealth or learning—
What shall we children bring?

2
We’ll bring Him hearts that love Him,
We’ll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To follow in His ways:
And these be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that ever
The poorest child may bring.

3
We’ll bring the little duties
We have to do each day;
We’ll try our best to please Him
At home, at school, at play:
And better are these treasures
To offer to the King
Than richest gift without them:
Yet these a child may bring.

Notes

To fully appreciate the later teaching ministry of Jesus, we must join these early pupils, the wise men, in their worship of the Master Teacher. (Lesson 5, 4th Quarter 2020 – Thursday, The Master Teacher’s First Pupils, 10/29/2020)
